At the end of November, Indiana decided to part ways with Tom Allen after seven seasons in charge and a 33-49 overall mark with an 18-43 record in Big Ten play.
The Hoosiers landed one of the hottest names in college football in Curt Cignetti, who led James Madison to a remarkable 11-1 record during the second season of their transition to the FBS level.
Here's a look at Cignetti's staff moving forward, as well as the previous staff under Tom Allen in 2023.
